big sister

She is the kindest person I know – always helping others – volunteering!

Sherry in the middle – Debbie to the left and Bonnie to the right – growing up in Mount Jewett, Pa.

The early years were in the Alleghany mountains of NWPA.

Near the Kinzua bridge – a little Swedish community.

Near Bradford, Pa. the early oil boom town of the 1800’s.

Sister Bonnie – mother Barb – sister Debbie and Sherry at their house outside of Mount Jewett.

Sherry – Barb – Bonnie and Debbie – they always had neat cars!

Sherry with her sisters and her father Bill – she reminds me of her father.

Sherry – her graduation from H.S. in 1967. Then onto Lab school in Philadelphia, Pa.

These are her early years – before I met her in 1979 – 1980. at work for A.O.T.C. in Olean, N.Y.

We were married on 6-25-82.
